135)     main()
{
                        int i=10,j=20;
            j = i, j?(i,j)?i:j:j;
                        printf("%d %d",i,j);
}

Answer:
10 10
Explanation:
                        The Ternary operator ( ? : ) is equivalent for if-then-else statement. So the question can be written as:
                        if(i,j)
                             {
if(i,j)
                             j = i;
                        else
                            j = j;                        
                        }
               else
                        j = j;                

 

136)     1. const char *a;
2. char* const a;
3. char const *a;
-Differentiate the above declarations.

Answer:
1. 'const' applies to char * rather than 'a' ( pointer to a constant char )
            *a='F'       : illegal
                                    a="Hi"       : legal

2. 'const' applies to 'a'  rather than to the value of a (constant pointer to char )
            *a='F'       : legal
            a="Hi"       : illegal

3. Same as 1.

137)     main()
{
                        int i=5,j=10;
            i=i&=j&&10;
                        printf("%d %d",i,j);
}

Answer:
1 10
Explanation:
The expression can be written as i=(i&=(j&&10)); The inner expression (j&&10) evaluates to 1 because j==10. i is 5. i = 5&1 is 1. Hence the result.

138)     main()
{
                        int i=4,j=7;
            j = j || i++ && printf("YOU CAN");
                        printf("%d %d", i, j);
}

Answer:
4 1
Explanation:
The boolean expression needs to be evaluated only till the truth value of the expression is not known. j is not equal to zero itself means that the expression’s truth value is 1. Because it is followed by || and true || (anything) => true where (anything) will not be evaluated. So the remaining expression is not evaluated and so the value of i remains the same.
Similarly when && operator is involved in an expression, when any of the operands become false, the whole expression’s truth value becomes false and hence the remaining expression will not be evaluated.    
            false && (anything) => false where (anything) will not be evaluated.

139)     main()
{
                        register int a=2;
            printf("Address of a = %d",&a);
                        printf("Value of a   = %d",a);
}

Compier Error: '&' on register variable
Rule to Remember:
                         & (address of ) operator cannot be applied on register variables.
           
140)     main()
{
                        float i=1.5;
            switch(i)
                        {
                        case 1: printf("1");
                                    case 2: printf("2");
                                    default : printf("0");
            }
}
Answer:
Compiler Error: switch expression not integral
Explanation:
                        Switch statements can be applied only to integral types.

141)     main()
{         
                        extern i;
            printf("%d\n",i);
                        {
                                    int i=20;
                        printf("%d\n",i);
                        }
}
Answer:
Linker Error : Unresolved external symbol i
Explanation:
The identifier i is available in the inner block and so using extern has no use in resolving it.

142)     main()
{
                        int a=2,*f1,*f2;
            f1=f2=&a;
                        *f2+=*f2+=a+=2.5;
            printf("\n%d %d %d",a,*f1,*f2);
}
Answer:
16 16 16
Explanation:
f1 and f2 both refer to the same memory location a. So changes through f1 and f2 ultimately affects only the value of a.
